EFFIE ELLSLER.

l 1AA@A@AA@AAAS' 1 This charming young actress will appear 1 at the New Haven Opera House tonight an6 tomorrow afternoon and evening in hel noted play of "Woman against Woman. l The play is a strong and touching heart story, full of interest and power. The story | is simple, and the characters are drawn from l life. Miss Ellsler, ss Bessie Barton, is the | heroine, and has won golden opinions by the power and strength which she throws in | to her acting. She is ably supported by MT. i Frank Weston and a company of excellent l merit. The New Haven public should not 1 miss the opportunity of witnessing this ex- cellent performance.
 BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE. 'One of the Bravest" being produced at Bunnell's making is great hit before crowded houses. This most excellent company is under the able management of Matt Le- land. While tue play is not of Shakespe- rean character, the plot is interesting, highly melodramatic, with 8 sensible and humorous vein of comedy relieved by con- stant succession of original music, singing, dancing and variety specialties in perfect harmony with the play. The tableaux and scenic effects are truly meritorious, and the fire scene is certainly the most effective and exciting, mechanical and realistic ever upon any stage in New Haven. The company is an excellent one. The attractions in the museum hall are good.
 TRINITY M. E. CHURCH CONCERT.
 Of MT. Charles Turner, the "tenor," (and husband of Miss Annis Montsgue) the Sydney Mail, Australia, says: MT. Charles Turner took the audience by storm, his singing is such as is rarely heard. Gifted by nature with voice of unusual strength and accu- haT lot Tuith HalioQov Nh shows not only careful training but most refined musical taste, and at the same time he sings with 8 heartiness which cannot fail to win the sympathy and appreciation of any audience. In every one of his selections last night he proved his power, though it would be difficult to say whether he did so the most in Blumenthel's "Message" or in Sulli- vans ''Snow Lies White," both were enthu- siastically encored. The concert takes place at Trinity M. E. church next Wednesday night
